One of my testicles hangs real real low, why

so i'm jacking off in the mirror cause I turn myself on and I notice that my left ball hangs about an inch lower than my right, wtf, thats a big difference. Anyone else have this going on, I mean i know its normal for one to hang lower but that much.

And on a side note: Usually inguinal hernias are on the right. Though, if a person developes one on the left, there's a very good chance of developing one on the right.
The bowels pass just under the right rectus abdominis and interfoveolar muscles and undue strain can push bowel thru them.

Normal for the left one to be lower - one of the asymmetrical properties of the body, like heart to the left, liver to the right etc. If the right hangs lower than the left, other organs may be reversed also (very rare but it does happen!)

Most of the time the left testicle hangs lower and is large. It hangs lower, most likely, to prevent painful 'clacking' when running or jumping. Think of the desk toy, the five balls hanging perfectly even and knock back and forth when you drop one of them.

In a nutshell, (excuse the pun), one nut has to be lower than the other for comfort.
When really warm (e.g. summer) the scrotum just heads south and take the boys with it.
A marvel of the human body is to make sure the boys don't clang together like castanets, so one is deliberately lower than the other.
They usually stick pretty close together when they're cold, (around our Adam's Apple:biggrin1

However, I suspect you might be more concerned about the differential between the hanging of the testes.
What happens when you are cold? Personally my sac looks like a half walnut.
My motto is, if in doubt, check it out
It can't hurt to get your doctor to have a feel around. Especially if he's young, hot and hairy:wink:.
At the same time he can stick his finger up your arse and check your prostate while rubbing your scrotum and testicles with his other hand to look for lumps. Worked for me!:smile:
